A new iPhone game that’s been developed by a company from Boston, and that allows users to drive a truck full of immigrants through the desert while trying to prevent them from getting thrown out of the vehicle, has understandably been rejected by Apple Inc. The bigoted game can still be downloaded for PC’s and Mac’s though.

But seriously! Lagerfield had a candy sculpture of Baptiste Giabiconi comissioned to promote Magnum ice cream. It’s wearing white briefs, and is placed inside of a room made of chocolate.

It’s understandable that one of the world’s busiest airports has been even busier during the course of the last week.

Cue an interesting episode of UK Border Force.

See what happens when the interviewer finally loses his patience with her.

Okay, I have tried to stay out of it. I vowed that I would not get caught up in all the insanity surrounding this wedding. But come on! Some American woman has literally quit her job to fly to England, a miserable and wet country, to be amongst the throng of slags and chavs on Kate’s big day.
A further tornado outbreak yesterday has killed at least 210 people in Alabama, prompting President Barack Obama to sign a disaster declaration to assist the clean up of the aftermath of the twisters.

Tornadoes are just fascinating, aren’t they? So much force and destructive power wrapped up in a crazy cone of wind. In the last few days, the southern states of the USA have been hit by a spate of storms which have given birth to deadly tornadoes. Check out this video, captured by CCTV cameras from inside Lambert Airport, in St Louis.
While I hate to be negative about sportsmen who are much more talented than I ever was, and try their hardest to perform well, I have to make an exception this week. The Bull’s second half performance on Saturday against a very average Western Force outfit was planlose* to say the least. Worst of all, […]
The big day is virtually upon us now and the official programme for the royal wedding has finally been released this morning, a mere 24 hours before Prince William and Kate Middleton make it official at Westminster Abbey.

In this video you’ll see a guy in a wheelchair holding onto a working lawn mower in order to cross a street busy enough to have a traffic light. Is he a differently-abled, improvising genius? Or simply the inventor of a motorized wheelchair powered by petrol and laziness?
German actress Antje Traue has been cast as ‘Faora,’ villainous accomplice to the no-less-ridiculous-sounding Zod in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot. Since we’re now assured at least one slow-motion high-definition Traue scene, the reboot might be worth looking at, Snyder notwithstanding.

Prince William seems like a decent bloke. Genetically though, he’s been dealt a difficult hand by life, in all her ruthless vagary. His father, Prince Charles – on the occasion of his painful press conference to mark his engagement to the fragrant, dim-witted, but virginal Lady Diana Spencer – so infamously replied to the question […]
“A sergeant came around from the charge office and walked out of the station. He didn’t say anything, but walked to her passenger window. He shot her upper arm and it looked like the bullet went through her breast and out of her chest.” Sipho Baloyi, car guard and witness to the fatal shooting outside the Kempton Park Police Station.
South Africa is a pretty awesome place. Where else in the world could a new life form be discovered in a truck stop wall, for instance? The green guy to my left is called a Mantophasmatodes. He has a face similar to a praying mantis and a body similar to a stick insect.
South African author Lauren Beukes’ novel Zoo City has won the 2011 Arthur C. Clarke Award, awarded to the best science fiction novel of the year published in the UK. This is a sort of huge deal – past winners of the award include Kuzuo Ishiguro, Iain M Banks, and China Mieville.
Police had to step in yesterday when a group of ANC supporters attempted to stop a DA rally from taking place in the Mamelodi Township in Pretoria. This is just a blip on the South African political radar that will quickly be forgotten, but it gave me pause for thought.

What ever happened to the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”? The original Arthur is a Dudley Moore comedy classic with that hauntingly beautiful theme tune, Arthur’s Theme by Christopher Cross. So why spoil it by camping things up with Russell Brand?
SpaceX – the guys who last year became the first to launch a private spaceship into orbit and bring it home – are planning on sending humans to Mars within 10 to 20 years, according to a Wall Street Journal interview with CEO Elon Musk.

This new feature will be available to all Facebook users and it’s been designed to make sharing easier, and a little more private. Its social networking architecture will work best with Facebook’s Groups function that was introduced last October, but don’t expect it to make streamlined advertising any harder either.
It’s definitely the bigger Murcielago, and judging by this new side-view of the car on the flatbed, I’m also guessing its the convertible version.
